Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
- Heat the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the lemon garlic butter over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides!
